Anti-trafficking organization World Without Exploitation has released a video PSA featuring survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, urging Congress to release all remaining Epstein files. The video, published Sunday, comes just days before the House votes on a bill to force the full release of Justice Department documents related to Epstein.
The PSA features photos of 11 women at the age they were when they first encountered Epstein. Many people wipe away tears or struggle through their lines as they tell their stories.
“There are about a thousand of us,” says one woman.
“It’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.”
The video reiterates a collective message:
“It is time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.
It is time to shine light in the darkness.”
The PSA ends with an on-screen message: “Five administrations and we’re still in the dark.”
Viewers are then called upon to contact Congress and demand the release of the files.
The campaign directs the public to a link that sends automated letters of support to MPs.
Political pressure is increasing
The PSA comes as Congress is preparing for high-stakes voting. The House will consider legislation to disclose the entire cache of DOJ documents linked to Epstein, years after the disgraced financier died by suicide in federal custody in 2019.
Recently, President Donald Trump suddenly reversed his opposition to releasing the files.
Trump had previously dismissed the release of the Epstein-related emails as a Democratic “hoax”, claiming that “a few idiots” and “stupid” Republicans had fallen for it.
His sudden change marks a significant political moment, as Trump has long resisted additional disclosure.
White House hit back at the allegations
Last week, White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt defended Trump amid renewed scrutiny over the release of emails mentioning him.
“Apart from the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong, the emails prove absolutely nothing,” Leavitt told reporters.
Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes. Epstein was associated with several wealthy and politically connected people before his arrest.
ongoing investigation
Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted in 2022 and is reportedly seeking to have her sentence reduced.
Last Friday, Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate Epstein’s ties to political figures and financial institutions, also targeting Democrats.
